About this Bible story

In Psalm 23:1, we learn that 'The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.' This story shows how a shepherd cares for his sheep, guiding and protecting them with love.

β€œThe Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”

β€” Psalm 23:1 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While the kids color, ask them, 'How does the shepherd keep the sheep safe?' Focus on the shepherd's loving actions. This can lead to a discussion about how God watches over us, just like a shepherd. Plan for about 20 minutes of coloring time, and encourage them to share their thoughts as they work.

More about these coloring pages

Last Wednesday, my 4-year-olds were so excited to color the shepherd with sheep. Each child picked their favorite crayons to fill in the fluffy sheep and the gentle shepherd. As they colored, I reminded them of Psalm 23:1, saying, 'The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.' This connection helped them see how the shepherd cares for his flock, just as God cares for us. With six adorable scenes, including a shepherd leading his sheep and a peaceful pasture, these pages are perfect for a calm activity. We used them during our story corner, and the kids loved sharing stories about their favorite sheep! These shepherd with sheep coloring pages are free printables, making them a great addition to any preschool lesson.
